My Journey: Overcoming Anxiety, Panic, and OCD.

I’ve been where you are - caught in the relentless cycles of anxiety, panic, and OCD.

My story isn’t just about overcoming; it’s about finding lasting peace, and I believe recovery is possible for everyone, including you.

Many of my clients are incredibly capable people who try to keep their distress hidden. The combination of mental and physical symptoms - like feeling constantly on edge or stuck in a loop - can be exhausting. But you don’t have to face it alone.

There is always a way, and every day, I help people find it - so they can get well and stay well.

What They Say

"Working with Emma brought a transformation I didn't think was possible. While it may not be a 'cure' in the traditional sense, it's something even more valuable. Emma guided me towards a place where I can now be with my body and mind without that overwhelming urge to escape." (Disclaimer)

K Russell

"Emma’s guidance has brought real change to my life. I’ve noticed a marked difference in my mornings and evenings – fewer moments filled with anxiety, and more days where I feel genuinely at ease. The intrusive thoughts, sweaty palms, chest pain, and migraines aren’t as overwhelming as they used to be. Emma has been a true beacon of hope at a time when I felt consumed by fear. Her support has helped me find moments of peace that I once thought impossible." (Disclaimer)

W Thomas

"Emma's approach is unlike anything I've encountered before. She doesn't just provide temporary relief; she offers genuine, practical, everyday implementable help. She has been the most worthwhile expenditure on my entire journey to healing and I’ve been at this because of my anxiety and OCD for a long time." (Disclaimer)

Hi, I'm Emma!

I'm an award-winning Integrative Psychotherapist and Coach with a personal history of anxiety and OCD. My own journey taught me more than any book or lesson could. I don't just focus on coping or recovery, I prioritise relapse prevention.

As someone who was thwarted more than once during my life because of my own OCD and anxiety. I lost years of my life to this illness, and more preciously, the early years of my children's lives as a mum who struggled with Post-Natal OCD. Yet, my illness doesn't define me. I draw from my experiences with it to inform my practice, but I focus on keeping well nowadays because I have big dreams and huge plans—just like most of my clients.

In my journey to overcome my own personal struggles and to help others do the same, I've been inspired by trailblazers who came before me. Their wisdom and experiences have shaped my approach, and I'm grateful for the foundation they've laid. Like them, my work has gained recognition through my reputation, as well as through appearances by myself and my clients on anxiety podcasts, in books, and on television.

I have been featured on numerous platforms and am a regular contributor on TV. Additionally, I am a Director and Fellow of the National Council for Integrative Psychotherapists, Reg No: 361332.

More often than not, people reach out to me because they see themselves in my story. I’ve walked the path they’re on - the relentless grip of OCD, the weight of anxiety, the panic that made me feel like I was unraveling. I know what it’s like to be capable yet held back by the fear that everything could fall apart. The road isn’t easy, and there’s no tidy, one-size-fits-all solution. But I’ve learned this: with the right tools and understanding, you don’t have to spend your life bracing for the worst. There is a way forward, even when it doesn’t feel like one.
